Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Wesson). They were the clear victors by a 25-2 margin over the Port Gibson Blue Waves on Tuesday. The result was nothing new for the Cobras, who have now won nine contests by ten runs or more so far this season.

Wyatt Garrett made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in April of 2024. He was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring a run while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. He also put up a double, which was his first of the season.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Aiden Wallace, who went 2-for-3 with three runs and four RBI. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Parker Brooks, who scored three runs while going 2-for-4.

Wesson always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .625. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .567 or higher in six consecutive games.

Wesson is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-6 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games. As for Port Gibson, they are on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 6-10.

Wesson will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Blue Waves: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
